A design reuse technology to increase productivity through automated corporate memory system
(
Springer London
, 2018 , Article)
Increasing competitiveness in engineering industry pressurizes companies to improve productivity of every single element in processes. As a result of this pressure, increasing productivity of design staff and design systems ...
Sewer Inspection Prioritization Using a Defect-Based Bayesian Belief Network Model
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In order to successfully implement an asset management program, an accurate and reliable deterioration model for assets should be available. Deterioration models are considered as the basis for predicting and prioritizing ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Cantilever Slab Deflections with ANSYS SOLID65 3D Reinforced-Concrete Element with Cracking and Crushing Capabilities
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents a finite-element (FE) study conducted to investigate the deflections of newly constructed cantilevered slabs built for a medical facility expansion. From the beginning of the construction stage, the ...
Evaluation of traffic noise in the state of qatar
(
CRC Press/Balkema
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Mitigating traffic noise is a major concern for transportation departments worldwide. A number of noise mitigation procedures are recognized to control noise emitting from traffic stream. However, noise reduction potential ...
Hybrid Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar to Identify Impulse-dependent Wave Characteristics of Viscoelastic Phononic Crystals
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
There has recently been a rising interest in the nonlinear wave transmission behavior of phononic crystals. However, experimental studies focusing on the nonlinear wave transmission behavior of phononic crystals have been ...
Where Is Qatar from Complete Streets?
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
In Qatar, it is perceived that the country's street system should be improved. Traffic crashes and congestion are seen as a threat to the safety of the community in Qatar and a negative element that detracts from the ...
Integrated performance assessment model for water distribution networks
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.

The American infrastructure report card in 2013 rated the US water system infrastructure with grade of ‘D’. The Canadian infrastructure report card in 2012 stated that around 15.4% of Canada’s water infrastructure has a ...
Stability charts for uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear failure envelopes
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Based on the results of an extensive parametric study, charts were developed for assessment of the stability of uniform slopes in soils with nonlinear shear strength failure envelopes. The study was conducted using envelopes ...
In-service video-vibration monitoring for identification of walking patterns in an office floor
(
International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration, IIAV
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Footfall-induced vibrations in office floors can create significant problems for the occupants and facility owners. Such vibrations cannot be modeled by traditional load models since the vibration response of a floor depends ...
Fatigue Behaviour of Lightly Stabilised Granular Materials from Flexural and Indirect Diametral Tensile Testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The fatigue characteristic of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading is an important consideration for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper presents the evaluation of fatigue ...
